A Chinese Champ clone

[Jazz+]

I bought this Stage Right Monoprice amp for $100 delivered. It's made in China. It clones the Champ circuit for the most part. I put a pair of high end Genalex Gold Lion tubes and a Weber alnico 8S speaker in it and it sounds great. It has superb clarity and well defined warm mids. I also replaced the white chicken head knobs with black ones and removed the Celestion logo. The stock speaker was a Celestion.

The tubes and speaker cost more than the amp!!

Congrats.
I’m not familiar with this particular model but I’ve heard a lot of good reviews on the monoprice stuff.

I'm wondering if the same manufacturer makes the tube amps for "hadean".

But still way less than any other Champ I can think of!

Congrats! I have a Lil Dawg Champster, a handmade Champ clone, as a lunchbox head. Mine uses a single preamp, power, and rectifier valve. Great pedal platform and a sonic chameleon.
